I don't think so. In this case I take her at her word. If she starts to visit Iowa and New Hampshire a lot, maybe that would be a clue, but I don't see it. Accepting an appointment is different from actually running for office yourself.

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

She's already more like a Democrat that any of the current crop of Republicans on the hot button domestic issues such as being pro-choice and pro-affirmative action. I'm sure she could come up to speed on the gay stuff (if she isn't there already), what with never having opposed it.

The foreign policy stuff the Dems called her a war criminal over back in the day are indistinguishable from the sort of thing Hillary pointed to with pride as Secretary of State.

And the Dems need a black woman to win. Black, not merely "of color" like Liz Warren.

The Condi thing is apparently going nowhere (though I wouldn't definitively count her out), but meanwhile it would be good to have a thread as a depository for 2020 Dem presidential candidate speculation.

"STOP PROMOTING MAXINE 2020!! THIS would be a disaster for us. Maxine Waters is far too powerful and likable, please do not give the dems the idea to let her run in 2020. SHE WILL STUMP TRUMP!! THIS. MUST. NOT. HAPPEN."
